Villa Brisa del Mar, the beachfront home that would pop up if there were a 'peace and quiet' filter.

Imagine waking up to a world where your only neighbors are the graceful iguanas and majestic pelicans – a realm of pure tranquility and natural beauty. This secluded sanctuary isn't just a house; it's a retreat into the heart of nature's embrace. Let me paint you a picture: an ocean view master suite that becomes your private haven, offering not just a room, but an experience that words fail to capture. The whispers of the sea become your lullaby, and the gentle rustle of the palm trees sets the tone for relaxation. And speaking of the sea, the fact that you're beachfront is nothing short of magic. As you step outside, the soft sands cradle your feet, and the endless horizon stretches before you. This isn't just a vacation; it's a journey into the soul of the ocean. The ocean view patio becomes your personal oasis, a place where time loses its meaning as you watch the waves dance under the sun's warm gaze. It's an invitation to simply be – to sip your favorite drink, to read, to reflect, or to share a moment with loved ones. But let's not forget about the private pool – a sparkling gem that invites you to cool off and immerse yourself in pure delight. The symphony of water and the ocean's melody create a backdrop that's simply unparalleled. And for those with dreams of hosting intimate events, this space is a canvas waiting to be painted with memories. It's not just a house; it's a setting that lends itself perfectly to celebrations, where the beauty of the surroundings becomes part of your gathering.

Villa Brisa del Mar experience is being away from people, with your people.

Beware if it rains during your stay - property leaks so one room becomes unusable!
We were initially excited and impressed upon arrival to this beachfront property. The setup of the property is great for a large group and the location is private. Unfortunately, it rained two of the four nights of our stay where we had to evacuate the master bedroom / upstairs area due to the excessive leaks. The roof leaked directly above the bed, on the bed, making that bed and bedroom unusable for half our stay. The interior entrance to the upstairs suite also had a roof / wall leak that flooded the interior entrance so you had to walk through huge puddles if you needed to enter the upstairs during and after the rain. When we first experienced the leak, Diego responded the next morning and sent a cleaning crew to help clean up the mess but it then happened again the next time it rained. Would recommend they remove from VRBO until a permanent solution is in place so that future guests are not impacted by having one less bedroom (the best bedroom and area of the house) and having to evacuate during each rain.

Secluded beach retreat
Loved having the beach basically to ourselves. The house accommodated our group of 9 with varying ages well. The only thing that threw us off at first was the living area downstairs is all outdoor, there is no indoor communal area downstairs. The only indoor communal area is upstairs off the master suite. It was beautiful and we would like to return!

Total relaxation and spoiling bound to happen the week you stay here
This home was Exquisite we spent the majority of our time outside by the pool and under the covered roof playing games listening to music and just overall taking in the scenery. It was absolutely wonderful that we could all control our air conditioning in our rooms and how clean everything was the kitchen is fully stocked there's not a thing in there that you could possibly want. The concierge Diego was incredible helped me out with a trip to urgent care that I needed to have due to a previous illness he recommended somewhere and called ahead for us Carlos was on site 24/7 and was always there to open the gate for us we wondered if he ever slept!

Spectacular Villa and Location
January 2023 Our family (6 adults and 4 children ages 1-11) vacation in Playa Grande at Villa Brisa del Mar was amazing! You have to experience this vacation home and setting to fully appreciate the comforts and the beauty of this spectacular villa. Each family had their own private suite with our oldest grandson having his own space to kick back and chill as a preteen. From the spacious outdoor living area and pool to the well stocked kitchen we just relaxed and enjoyed. The beach, Playa Ventanas, will take your breath away as you walk down the path from the arbored pool gate. The views on the beach, morning, noon and night were magical. You can walk/run, explore and swim on this beautiful beach. We went shelling, observed tiny sea creatures, saw turtle tracks, swam, boogie boarded and played in the sand. It never got old! Carlos, the caretaker of the property, was so kind and helped us in every way. He was so attentive to all the details of making our stay at Villa Brisa del Mar so enjoyable. One evening the entire family went down to the beach to watch the sunset and I stayed with the 4 year old by the pool. Carlos, walked out the gate and came back a few minutes later with pictures on his phone of the sunset for me to enjoy. I was so touched by his kindness. He is the best! Diego, our concierge, was so helpful at organizing all our excursions and transportation needs to and from the airport, renting 2 cars that were delivered to the villa, arranging our tours and suggesting fabulous restaurants to enjoy. We had food delivered to the villa, so we were stocked the first day. We had a carseat and booster seat delivered for use throughout the week. Diego facilitated it all. Our family experienced the beauty of Costa Rica for 9 days with an all day rainforest tour, a horseback riding excursion on a working hacienda, a catamaran sailing tour along the coast, an estuary boat tour in the Las Baulas Estuary, renting wave runners in Brasilito and having the freedom to explore the beaches and towns along the coast with our rental cars. Just to let you know how much we enjoyed are stay…2 days before leaving wanted to extend our stay an extra few days. I messaged Diego to ask him about our options. In less than 30 minutes everything was arranged to extend our stay! It was magical, we could have stayed even longer! Pura Vida.. it's a way fo life! We will be back!

Our stay in Costa Rica was amazing. We came to celebrate my 30th birthday and we were not disappointed. Our concierge Diego was a great help he made it super easy to help me find excursions and set up transportation for us. The house was stunning, beautiful views of the ocean and your own private beach, our caretaker Carlos was there for everything we needed. The house was kept tidy by a friendly housekeeper and at night we had a security guard. Our shuttle bus drivers Alberto and Eddie were amazing they helped bring us around the town and seemed to know everything about their beautiful country. Would def recommend booking this property for all the amenities it has to offer. Villa Brisa and the staff with not disappoint!

Incredible Vacation Home
We stayed here with our 4 adult children and 2 of their spouses. Each of them had their own beautiful suite. Our Casita was amazing, with a bedroom and living room facing the beautiful ocean. The view is incredible! Most days we swam in the ocean, walked on the beach, or lounged by the pool. The outdoor space is incredible and we had family dinners at the huge outdoor dining table. There is plenty of outdoor furniture where we could sit and talk and listen to the ocean. At night we gathered in our living room and watched movies or played games. You can walk to Rip Jacks or Taco Star for lunch or dinner. We also rented a surfboard at Frijoles Locos and my son surfed at Playa Grande which is in walking distance. While in Costa Rica, there are a lot of activities to choose from but I would highly recommend the adventure hike to Leona Falls(2 hours a way). We had to swim through rivers, jump off a cliff and use ropes to pull ourselves through the water to find a hidden waterfall. It was only $30 a person and far exceeded our expectations. Carlos the caretaker was so helpful and kind. We borrowed items that we forgot at the grocery store, he helped my son when he got locked out of the house, and he opened the gates for us when we left and came back into the property. He even changed a tire for us! My whole family loved him.

Amazing House & Location
Not only was this house off the beaten path, it was beautiful and the beach was stunning. If you want to be away from all of the tourists, this is your place. We spent most of our time in the outdoor living and on the beach. Playa Carbon was also within walking distance and worth the visit. There are lots of great places to eat in the area, but the concierge is wonderful and will help you book a chef for the house, rental cars, excursions, etc. I would go back to Costa Rica in a heart beat and I would book this house over and over again!

This villa is beautiful and has plenty of space for a large group or family. The master suite is to die for! We enjoyed the peaceful outdoor living space and playing in the waves. (The local surf shop, Frijoles Locos, delivered surf and boogie boards.) One of the highlights of our stay was walking along the beach to the Ripjack Inn in Playa Grande for drinks and dinner! Both the concierge, Diego, and the caretaker, Carlos, were attentive to our needs and promptly addressed any issues. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing vacation spot, with the ability to arrange activities/day trips if desired, this house is it!

Loved everything about this place and would definitely return!!! 5 + stars for sure! I have check-in 4 stars because the on-site house manager spoke only Spanish.
